From Caregiver Burnout to Healing: Kat Mitchell on Reiki, Hypnotherapy, NLP & putting yourself first

I got the honor to welcome Kat Mitchell to the I Got It Girl podcast to discuss how the “I got it” mindset can lead to overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout, and how surrender, support, and healing tools can help. Kat shares her caregiving journey from 2015–2024, including caring for a cousin with end-stage liver disease, making end-of-life decisions, later supporting her dad, then navigating her mom’s Alzheimer’s/dementia and her brother’s multiple strokes while rebuilding neural pathways and learning to meet people where they are. She also describes losing her partner in 2021, moving without income, breaking her right arm, and adapting day-by-day with prayer and new systems. Kat explains how these experiences led her to meditation, Reiki, hypnotherapy, and NLP, and how she now helps women learn to put themselves first and redefine identity after caretaking.
